Payments Platform, Software Engineer - Backend, Analyst, Dallas

Goldman Sachs is initiating a substantial effort to modernize its payments platform. As part of the broader strategy for Goldman Sachs to digitize its

operations and provide its financial services and capabilities "as a Service", the payments platform is looking to transform its premise-based infrastructure

to a set of nimble, reliable, and scalable services designed natively for operating in the public cloud.

Transformation starts with the people: the talent whose efforts must be focused and harnessed to make transformation possible and sustainable.

With this philosophy at the forefront of our approach, the Payments platform team recognizes the need to uplift and modernize the skillsets of its staff while

delivering value to its stakeholders and customers. To assist our existing engineers we are looking for full-time employees or consultants that can bring

specific cloud engineering discipline in addition to some baseline cloud development experience.

Successful candidates would not only enable us to deliver on our objectives but change the habits and manner in which we develop going forward.
